As shown in the enlarged drawing W2 of Fig. 2, if printing terminates, because surface tension produces ink 97 in nozzle face 111 To the meniscus of the inner side of nozzle 113 depression.Ink 97 is held in nozzle face 111 by meniscus.
Do action is illustrated.Pump 901~904 is by the control of CPU in ink 97 not from the non-of the ejection of nozzle 113 Driven during printing, and carry out do action.In do action as shown in the arrow 90 of Fig. 2, Fig. 3, ink 97 is in supply line 761A, 762A, 761B, 762B and circulation stream 771A, 772A, 771B, 772B are circulated.Thus, produce and settled as high The stirring of the white ink of liquid.
The structure of the printer 1 of present embodiment is as previously discussed.Present embodiment is by the second installation portion 821,822 and pair Case 91 is arranged at second area 212.Therefore the water-head of the ink 97 of the position based on odd-side 91 and nozzle face 111 with based on the Two installation portions 821,822 are roughly the same with the water-head of the ink 97 of the position of nozzle face 111.Therefore in the bent moon of nozzle face 111 Face suitably keeps ink 97, so as to be difficult to produce the ejection of ink 97 bad.Therefore, it is possible to reduce print quality decline can Can property.The with respect to the horizontal plane oblique inclination of odd-side 91, its upper end is located at the upside slightly of second area 212, but in odd-side 91 The water level of ink 97 is located at the inner side of second area 212.In box 301,302, axle portion 43 shown in Fig. 5 is received due to elastic component 45 Liquid containing bag 13 is batched to the force of rear direction.Therefore when elastic component 45 and axle portion 43 is not provided with compared with, from liquid The pressure of the discharge ink 97 of bag container 13 is higher.Therefore the water level of the ink 97 in the liquid container 31 in box 301,302 exists The upside of the second installation portion 821,822, positioned at the inner side of second area 212.
As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3, non-storage stream 72A, 72B do not have odd-side 91.Extended respectively into from multiple installation portions 80 In the stream of showerhead 110, odd-side 91 only is set in a part of stream.Therefore with extending respectively into spray from multiple installation portions 80 Whole streams of head 110 are compared when setting odd-side 91, can cut down component count.
Receiving is installed as sedimentation liquid high in the second installation portion 821,822 being connected with non-storage stream 72A, 72B White ink box 301,302.Due to there is no odd-side 91 in non-storage stream 72A, 72B, therefore, it is possible to prevent settleability The composition of white ink higher accumulates in odd-side 91 causes the concentration of the composition of the white ink sprayed from nozzle 113 to diminish. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the possibility of print quality decline.
Due to being provided with circulation stream 771A, 772A, 771B, 772B, stirred by 901~904 pairs of white inks of pump Mix, therefore the composition of settleability white ink higher is difficult to be settled in non-storage stream 72A, 72B.Therefore, it is possible to reduce from The possibility that the concentration of the composition of the white ink that nozzle 113 sprays diminishes such that it is able to reduce the possibility of print quality decline Property.
During printing, by action that ink 97 sprays from nozzle 113 play by pump from ink 97 to the side-lining of nozzle face 111 Effect, so as to produce ink 97 to the supply of nozzle face 111.Assuming that printing when transfer tube 901~904, then due to pump 901~ 904 pressure acts on ink 97, there is a possibility that ink 97 inadequately sprays.In the present embodiment, pump 901~ 904 ink 97 not from nozzle 113 spray it is non-print when drive, thus, the conduct sedimentation high in non-storage stream 72A, 72B The white ink of liquid is circulated.Not transfer tube 901~904 when therefore printing, ink 97 suitably sprays.When non-print Because 901~904 pairs of white inks of transfer tube are stirred, thus composition in white ink be difficult to non-storage stream 72A, Sedimentation in 72B.Therefore, it is possible to reduce the possibility that diminishes of concentration of the composition of the white ink sprayed from nozzle 113, so as to Enough reduce the possibility that print quality declines.
The diameter of circulation stream 771A, 772A, 771B, 772B is smaller than the diameter of non-storage stream 72A, 72B.Therefore with follow The diameter of circulation road 771A, 772A, 771B, 772B is compared when bigger than the diameter of non-storage stream 72A, 72B, can reduce circulation The possibility of the other streams of stream 771A, 772A, 771B, 772B interference.Due to circulation stream 771A, 772A, 771B, 772B is provided with pump 901~904, even if therefore circulating the diameter of stream 771A, 772A, 771B, 772B than non-storage stream The diameter of 72A, 72B is small, it is also possible to circulate white ink.Due to being able to ensure that the size of the diameter of non-storage stream 72A, 72B, Therefore, it is possible to white ink is properly supplied into nozzle face 111.Therefore, it is possible to reduce the possibility of print quality decline.With follow Compared with the diameter of circulation road 771A, 772A, 771B, 772B is when the diameter of non-storage stream 72A, 72B is big, stream is circulated The bending of 771A, 772A, 771B, 772B is easier to, therefore the free degree of pipe arrangement is improved.
